Commercial Vehicle Insurance: Secure Your Travels
Commercial vehicle insurance is essential for businesses using vehicles for their professional activities.
Whether it's for a truck, van, or an entire fleet, this insurance protects you against risks specific to commercial transport.
What is commercial vehicle insurance?
Commercial vehicle insurance is specialized coverage for vehicles used for professional purposes.
Unlike standard auto insurance, it includes specific guarantees tailored to business needs, such as professional liability and protection for transported goods.
Since professional risks differ from personal risks, standard insurance does not cover damages or liabilities specific to commercial use, potentially leading to high costs in case of a loss.
Why does a business need commercial vehicle insurance?
Tailored coverage: It offers guarantees adapted to professional needs, such as coverage for transported goods and commercial liability.
Financial protection: In case of an accident, repair costs and liabilities can quickly add up. Without appropriate coverage, your business's financial stability could be at risk.
Safety and peace of mind: With this insurance, you can focus on your business, knowing that your vehicles, drivers, and transported goods are protected in case of an unexpected event.
What types of commercial vehicles are covered?
Commercial vehicle insurance covers:
Trucks: For transporting goods.
Vans: Used by craftsmen and service companies.
Company cars: For salespeople or executives.
Utility vehicles: For construction and maintenance companies.
Coaches and buses: For transporting people.
Specialized vehicles: Such as ambulances and delivery vehicles.
